Yii 2 Excel
ActiveRecord import and export based on PHPExcel for Yii 2 framework.
This library is mainly designed to import data, export is in the raw condition (even it's working in basic form),
under development and not documented yet.
The important notes:
- It uses ActiveRecord models and PHPExcel library, so operating big data requires pretty good hardware, especially RAM.
In case of memory shortage I can advise splitting data into smaller chunks. - This is not just a wrapper on some PHPExcel methods, it's a tool helping import data from Excel in human readable
form with minimal configuration. - This is designed for periodical import.
- The library is more effective when working with multiple related models and complex data structures.
